Chapter 681
“Uh…Charlie,” Mary turced on her son and said, “although your cousin and his wife got divorced, they are together
now after all. They even have a daughter. Don’t disturb them.” Charlie retorted, “It’s not like I can’t raise Nia up.”
“Do you think I’ll let my daughter acknowledge other people as her father?” Josiah looked at Charlie coldly. “I think
she should still call you uncle. That seems more like it.”
Although Josiah’s expressions were cold, Charlie was never afraid of him. He snatched Meredith’s hand from
Josiah’s. “As long as Meredith is willing to marry me, Nia could call me daddy.”
Meredith was extremely speechless being in between them. Mary’s head hurt too. Out of desperation, she could
only ask Old Madam Shelby for help, “Mom, say something.” Then only Old Madam Shelby pulled Meredith to the

you two, fighting over Meredith is one thing. Don’t cross the line.”
Josiah said, “Grandma!”
Mary said, “Mom!”
They said in almost unison.
“Grandma, have you forgotten that you were the one who forced me to marry Meredith back then? Now, we’re
living well as a family and you’re breaking us up? Isn’t that inappropriate?”
“Yes, mom. Don’t you find it messy enough? How could you say such a thing?” Without mentioning whether she
liked Meredith or not, Mary could not accept the two cousins fighting over the same woman.
Old Madam Shelby looked at Josiah with a gaze that seemed to say he deserved it.
“That’s right. It’s because I was stupid enough to force you to marry Meredith, which made you make all the
mistakes after that, so I’m not forcing you right now. I’ll respect your choice. Shouldn’t you be happy about it?”
Josiah said, “But I don’t want to split up with Meredith right now.”
“Then, fight on your own. I never said that you couldn’t remarry her.”
Josiah was speechless. Only Charlie was the happiest there.
He affectionately hugged Old Madam Shelby and said, “I know you’re the most sensible and open person in this
world, Grandma.”
“I’m just wishing that all of you do well.” Old Madam Shelby patted him on the back of his hand and said, “Okay,
we’re family. Come and have some tea.”
Meredith was speechless,

Things had already been in that state, yet they still wanted to have tea! She was afraid that before she could even
take a sip of tea, the cousins would start fighting.
Sure enough, before she could decide whether to sit down Josiah had grabbed her by the wrist and headed outside.
“Josiah, where are you taking her to?” Charlie chased after them. Josiah stopped a little in his tracks. He turned
around and said, “I’m going home. Are you coming?” “Yes, sure!” Charlie wanted to follow them, but Old Madam
Shelby pulled him back while Josiah pulled Meredith to the door.
Meredith tried hard to keep up with Josiah while turning back to look at Charlie.
Seeing his anxious face, she was a little guilty. Although she did not want to be with Josiah, she had never once
thought about being with the charming Charlie, yet he was serious about her.
“What? Are you missing your young lover?” Josiah was infuriated by Meredith looking back. He roughly pushed her
into the car.
